Part 1 provides an overview of EJB. Chapter 1 introduces EJB 3 and EJB types and makes the case for EJB 3. Chapter 2 explores core concepts such as metadata annotations, dependency injection, and provides code examples of each EJB type.

Part 2 covers the building of business logic with session beans and MDB. Chapter 3 dives into the details of session beans and outlines best practices. Chapter 4 gives a quick introduction to messaging, JMS, and covers MDB in detail. Chapter 5 covers advanced topics such as dependency injection, intercep-tors, and timers. Chapter 6 discusses transaction and security.

Chapter 8 covers object-relational mapping with JPA. Chapter 9 provides in-depth coverage manipulating entities using EntityManager API. Chapter 10 covers querying entities using Query API and JPQL.

Part 4 provides guidelines for effectively using EJB 3 in your enterprise applications. Chapter 11 discusses packaging of EJBs and entities. It introduces all XML descriptors. Chapter 12 covers using EJB 3 design patterns and JPA from other application tiers. Chapter 13 turns to advanced topics such as entity locking and performance tuning of EJB 3 applications.

Download Ebook: Zend PHP Certification Study Guide

IF YOU’RE READING THIS BOOK, you’ve probably made a decision that becoming a Zend Certified Engineer is an important step in your career. And, indeed, it might well be—the certification exam will test your knowledge of PHP in many areas, ranging from the basics to the more complex topics. As PHP’s adoption grows inside the enterprise, being certified can mean that you will have an edge when that dream job comes along!

The exam was designed by a number of well-known people in the PHP community in collaboration with experts in the field of computer-assisted testing.They approached it with a simple set of goals:

• Test the level of PHP knowledge of the candidate without prejudice to other technologies
• Use a set of testing questions that reflect real-world scenarios as accurately as possible
• Avoid questions that rely on a person’s understanding of the language rather than his or her understanding of PHP and its related programming techniques
  

It’s very important to understand these points as you approach your studies, as well as the exam itself, in particular when it comes to testing technologies that are used in conjunction with PHP.The test authors decided that, rather than relying on assumptions as to what other technologies a PHP programmer is likely to use in his or her daily job, the exam should focus on PHP itself and on those topics that a developer deals with often without any ties to a particular product.

Thus, although you will probably encounter one or more questions about database development during your exam, they will not be linked to a particular DBMS, such as MySQL or Oracle. Rather, they will deal with the general concepts of database programming and the standard SQL language.
